Melissa watched the new guy, James, as he unloaded a box of sausages, then averted her gaze when he grabbed a particularly thick sausage and chanced to look up at her, his brown eyes smiling in a hint of a flirt. For six months, Melissa had worked in the meat department of the local supermarket part time, balancing the job with her college studies. It wasn'...
I flicked my torch over the small audience one last time and sighed. It was the first night of the biggest blockbuster movie of the summer and the theatre wasn't even half-full. We couldn't compete with the new multiplex in the town. I didn't really need to work here but I loved it. We had a small following of regular customers who loved the movie theatre's...
"Shit." Alexa said, " I'm going to get another parking ticket." She stood at the door of her apartment building watching the cop looking her car over. Walking down the steps, her mind raced with what kind of sob story she could lay on the officer to get out of the ticket. By the time she was ten feet from her car, she still didn't have anything good to tell...
"Tickets please." I hear him coming down the train car. What can I say, I like a man in a uniform. And a cap. And a little red tie that I can use to pull him into the dark corners of the train as I head home late at night. We've never exchanged names or numbers, we know nothing about one another. But I like the way his hair curls out from under his cap, an...
Nas was a girl who worked in the same building as me although in a different department. Nevertheless whenever we saw each other around we would stop and chat and flirt with each other. Now Nas wasn't what you would call particularly pretty or beautiful or anything but she was very slim and had small breasts. In addition her hair was long, dark and sleek an...

The man's pale, chubby carcass was a grisly sight to behold, and even though Khadija Camara had seen much carnage in her ti...

The red ball of the sun sank slowly through the purple clouds and behind the distant trees. The old soldier sat quietly watching the sunset. Reflections from the gold aviator wings pinned on his threadbare robe flickered along the wall with each raspy breath. It was the same scene he had watched for years. The young blonde nurse always stood in the backgr...
March 22, 2006, I was in my Aston Martin Vanquish S, cruising up the West Side Highway. It was late night, and I felt like the Knight Rider racing up the freeway. I thought there were no cops in sight so I decided to drive even faster. I was wrong! A cop's flashing red and blue lights and sirens snapped me out of my racing mood and told me to pull over. Fuc...
Hi everyone! My name is Nate, but most everyone knows me as "Barkeep". That seems to be the most commonly used salutation, until closing time. Then I get to learn all of my nicknames. When ever I meet someone new I automatically say "What'll ya have?" I've gotten a lot of funny looks from people until I tell them what I do for a living. The interesting part...
